Default under-drive pullies?

just wondering what these do and what the benifits are of them, do they increase hp or are they just a cosmetic bolt on?

They do supposedly add hp, but it's not enough to really notice so i guess you could call it a cosmetic bolt-on.

I think March claims about 25 hp increase but When i put mine on i couldnt tell, but thats cuz I never had stock pulleys to begin with. I think the real gain is if you delete the smog pump or the a.c. compressor, that'll definatly give you some more hp.
